Nissan's new GT-R won't cost as much as expected
Sources say the base version of the Porsche 911 rival will be the equivalent of £29,000 in Japan.
The lower price is down to the brakes and transmission. While the entry-level GT-R will employ a six-speed manual gearbox and four-piston Brembo brakes, the £35,000 V-spec version will get six-piston Brembos and a dual-clutch, two-pedal, seven-speed DSG box. A GT-R Evolution with carbon fibre parts to reduce weight will be nearer £52,000.
The currency conversion (British Pounds to JP yen as according to the article, then yen to US Dollars). The number is still about $57,000 US.
